Sporting the Draveurs de Trois-Rivières’ colours for tonight's game, head coach Marc-André Bergeron and his Lions will be out to avenge Wednesday night’s loss to the Newfoundland Growlers in the second game of the teams’ three-game series. Trois-Rivières will have to figure out a way to stop the Growlers’ dynamic duo of Zach O'Brien and Orrin Centazzo: Combined, the two forwards had seven points in Wednesday's 6-1 win. The Lions are still in the hunt for a playoff spot but they’re going to have to find a way beat their Canadian rival if they hope to participate in post-season play.
